Wow, I can only imagine the throttle response you'll get from this motor.

I've always loved n/a's, power on demand, responsive, FUN!

seriously the most awesome build yet. Meticulous and just pure eye candy.

Thanks, I really appreciate the compliments...

I updated over there, so I guess I need to here.

Logan is about to get my rotors back from CLR. Ha, it has taken over a year..

We hope to have the engine together this next month. It will go together first with the stock intake and closed PPs. At that point I will make the 12 hour trip to Ohio. I will get the car and drive for three days to rack up around 1000 miles. Then leave it at Defined until they get the new intake and ITBs happening.

When I pick it up this fall I want the tune to be glitch free and ready to roll.

So, more waiting but that is ok....It gives me more time to pay for it.

I did get a new Nardi Deep Corn 350mm steering wheel with Snap Off (Teqnik) quick release and Nardi hub. I also just bought new Defi control box and 60mm imperial water temp and oil temp gauges.

Next big purchase will be Alcon front and rear brakes...

Yea, I know, big brakes, especially rear, waste of money... If that is what you think then you completely miss the point of my car.

Sounds good man... I've watching this build like a hawk

Its good to set the FC bar so high... I'm just glad to see FC guys stepping up these days, we're too far and few between it seems.

man, I cant stay away form this thread and your not posting updates quick enough for me to quit going back thru all the old post. Man this is a sick car! I have always dreamed of a 20B NA.
This exact car other than white exterior would be my dream! Or this motor in my white FC.

keep up the good work, looking for more post...........................................
